Bella

I had better days, and worse days, than the day Tanya came to visit. It was wonderful because I discovered my gift. Invisibility. How awesome is that? When Edward told me to have fun with it, I couldn't help but think of Emmett. I still owed him some payback, and payback he was going to get. I started scheming anew as soon as I figured out how to make my invisibility work. I completely discarded my previous plan. I had a new plan, a much better plan. I was going to have to employ Edward's help, which I knew he was going to love.

When we arrived back at home, everyone was still milling around the house visiting. Tanya was staring at me with pure curiosity on her face. I quickly opened my connection with Edward, or as I was starting to call it, my Edcom, short for Edward Communicator, and asked him what Tanya was thinking about. He let her thoughts stream through the communicator and winced when he looked at me.

"I just can't understand him. Why didn't he want me? Everyone wants me. I can't help but think there must be something wrong with him for wanting her. She is beautiful, but she was a virgin for crying out loud. How could she be THAT good? I wonder if Edward would let me just 'teach' him a few moves…"

I cut off the connection. I was not listening to another second of that vicious woman. If she thought she was getting her filthy hands on My Edward she had another thing coming. I glared at her across the room. Edward stepped in front of me to break my glare, but I stood on my tiptoes and glared over his shoulder. My anger was rising quickly. Jasper rose from the chair he was occupying, and was next to me in an instant.

"Bella, darlin', let's go for a walk, okay?"

I didn't want to go for a walk. I desperately wanted to tear that bitch to shreds and walk over her pile of ashes repeatedly. I continued to glare at her, and the more I glared, the wider her smile became. Somewhere inside of me, I knew that she was toying with me, and that I should not let her get to me because that was exactly what she wanted. However, my newborn vampire emotions were so strong and overwhelming that I could not get control of myself. I knew that if I continued to let this ire take control of me, the end result was not going to be pretty. I felt Jasper's hand on me and the calm started invading my mind. Jasper and Edward started pushing me towards our study. The calm was not helping much, but enough to make my feet start to move towards the study, and then I turned and walked solemnly in and flopped in my chair in front of the fireplace.

Edward and Jasper were both kneeling in front of me and Alice came dancing into the room. Alice's voice, from behind me, was concerned.

"What's going on, Bella?" she asked softly. "I just had a vision of you killing Tanya."

I nodded my head. "She doesn't like me and wonders what Edward is doing with me. She still wants Edward. I don't want her in our house."

I knew that every vampire in the house could hear me. I wasn't trying to keep my voice low, as I should have. I wanted her to hear me. I didn't care what the consequences were.

"Shhh, now, Bella. Calm down a minute, please?" Edward said quietly.

I glared at him. How dare he? Jasper's calm was still swirling around me, taking my defenses down slowly. With each passing second, I could feel it breaking through my angry façade. I didn't want it to, but it was. I had noticed that Jasper's gift did not work as quickly and easily on me as a vampire as it had when I was a human. A memory of sitting in a hotel room with Jasper and Alice washed through my mind. Jasper had used his gift to calm me, and it relaxed me so much that I slept. I looked sadly at Jasper, then Edward. Alice came around in front of me and kneeled between them, taking my hands.

"Bella, if Tanya is toying with you," she began very quietly, "then you are giving her exactly what she wants." Her eyes never left mine and I knew she was absolutely right. I looked at each of them and bowed my head.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me," I said softly. Alice squeezed my hands.

"My vision has changed, Bella. You are not going to do anything… to Tanya…" she said, pausing. She started giggling, which broke into a chuckle, and then her tinkling laughter filled the air. I looked up at her and started giggling too. Edward, seeing what Alice was seeing, chuckled as well. Jasper looked at all of us as though we were crazy. In a fit of hysterics, Alice asked, "Can I… tell… Jasper?" I nodded at her, laughing too hard to speak.

Alice leaned over to Jasper, and whispered so softly that even I could barely hear her, what my plan for Emmett was. He started chuckling as she spoke, and by the time she was done, he was all out laughing too. All three of them had twinkling eyes when they stood. Emmett burst through the door to the study and bellowed, "What's so damn funny in here?"

The four of us looked at each other and shrugged. "Nothing really, Emmett. Why do you ask?" Edward said, his velvety voice tinged with laughter. Emmett pouted at us. Alice and I were both trying to stifle our giggles.

"You are all in here laughing. If there is something funny, I want in on the joke."

I finally made my face look serious and said, "Weren't you asked to knock before entering our place, Emmett?"

Emmett started stuttering. "Oh, yeah, um, er, I'm, uh, I'm sorry," he said while he was backing out of the room.

As soon as the door closed, we all burst into uncontrollable laughter again. Emmett growled outside the door, which sent us all into another fit of hysterics. I heard him walking away from the door, muttering something about us all being jerks. We all tried to stop laughing. Finally, as we calmed down, Alice and Jasper excused themselves to go back to the company. I declined to join them just yet. I was embarrassed by my earlier actions. I decided instead to do some work at my desk. I had a lot of projects going over there.

I made my way over to the mahogany desk and sat down in my chair, trying to decide what I felt like working on. I picked up the envelope with the pictures in it, and turned it over in my hands a couple of times. Edward casually strolled over and stood behind me with his hands on my shoulders. He gently massaged my shoulders and neck and I moaned in appreciation.

"What have you got there, love?" he asked softly, still massaging my shoulders with his long fingers.

"Oh, nothing much," I said, still looking at the envelope in my hands. I wondered why these pictures intrigued me so much.

"It doesn't look like nothing, Bella. The way you are holding it makes me think it is something. What is it? Or would you prefer not to talk about it?"

I chuckled. "No, Edward. It's nothing that I wouldn't want to talk to you about. It's kind of silly, actually." I paused for a moment, and then opened the envelope, shaking the pictures out into my hand. "They are the pictures that came out of that locket I attached to your watch. I've been curious about who they might have been is all."

Edward came around from behind me to examine the pictures when I laid them on the desk. I was looking at them curiously when I heard Edward inhale sharply. His hand flashed in front of me and he picked them up. He was scrutinizing them closely, and then he slowly pulled his watch out of his pocket. He looked up at me with sadness filling his eyes. "These pictures… came out…" he choked out. He seemed to be having difficulty getting the words out, so I opened our connection. I was shocked at what Edward's mind was consumed with.

"Your parents?!" I squeaked.

The door flew open and Alice came bounding into the room in an instant, having seen what Edward's reaction was going to be when I showed the pictures to him. "Edward, are you sure?" she asked.

I nodded. He was sure. His body was shaking and I heard the sobs in his mind while his physical body sobbed as well. It was gut wrenching to see Edward like this. His beautiful face was full of sorrow, his eyes full of agony. As the gold in his eyes swirled, it became darker, and his shoulders heaved with his sobs. I could see images of his parents in his mind. The images were flashing by quickly and I struggled to absorb each one before the next one came up. Finally, he stopped on one image. It was Edward's mother, and she was wearing the locket that I had purchased for Edward. His eyes fell closed and he concentrated on that image for several long seconds. When he opened his eyes again, he stared down at the locket, rubbing his thumb across its surface tenderly, as though by touching it, he could somehow touch her. I didn't know what to do or say. I looked to Alice for help.

"Edward, Bella and I had no idea, I'm so sorry," she said, her voice cracking. "We would have shown them to you sooner, had we known."

He looked up at us and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "It doesn't matter. I have them now, and I remember," he said softly. Silently, he said, "Thank you, Bella. Your wedding gift has just given me more than you can imagine. I haven't seen my parents that clearly since I can remember. Probably since I was human."

I went to him, and wrapped my arms around him, placing my cheek against his chest. Alice stepped over to us and hugged us both. I smiled at her and she grinned back, happy that we had finally solved our little mystery.

Aloud I said, "If you want to put those pictures back in there, Edward, you are welcome to. They are the ones that belong there."

"No," Edward said, kissing my hair, "When my mother wore it, those two pictures belonged in there. While I have it, I want you and my mother in there. I will keep these pictures someplace else."

I smiled with my face still pressed to his chest. "It's curious that your mother's locket ended up in an antique shop in Seattle," I wondered aloud.

"Yes, it is," Edward said softly.

"We are still waiting to hear back from the owner of the shop," Alice reminded me. "Maybe he will be able to solve that mystery."

"True," I said, nodding.

I was so happy for Edward. Seeing his memories of his parents flooding his mind had been a thoroughly emotional experience for both of us. I was thrilled that this was where the locket had taken us. Obviously, it was destiny for me to buy it for him. It was just another reason for me to believe that Edward and I were intended to be together forever.

After Alice left, and Edward finally released his tight embrace, he took the tiny pictures and put them on the mantle next to my portrait. He came back to me, and hugged me again.

"Thank you, Bella. You have no idea how much those memories mean to me. I've never seen those particular ones before."

"I'm just sorry it took so long for you to see those pictures, Edward."

Edward smiled and tousled my hair. "Silly Bella." I smacked his shoulder, and then took a deep breath.

"Edward, I need to get over this and go back in there with Tanya."

"If it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to, love."

"I can't hide out the entire time she is here just because she intimidates me."

"I don't know why you let her intimidate you, angel. You are the only one for me, you always have been, and you always will be," he said, kissing my forehead.

"I know, Edward. It's silly. I know."

We headed back into the great room, hand in hand. Tanya was absorbed in a conversation with Rosalie about Vera Wang's new winter line. I rolled my eyes. She didn't even look up when we entered, which I took as a good sign that maybe she was going to leave me alone. I stood next to Alice, who was talking to Irina and Kate. I looked around to see that Esme and Carmen were gone, probably in Esme's study, and Carlisle and Eleazar were also gone, probably in Carlisle's study. I could hear all of their voices, so I knew they were all still in the house. Emmett was sitting next to Rose, pretending he was interested in the conversation she was having with Tanya. Jasper was looking out a window. Edward strolled over to him, and challenged him to another game of chess. Jasper accepted, and they sat down at the chess table. I sat on Edward's knee watching for a while, but was bored with that before long.

I decided that now was as good a time as any to put my plan of action into affect for Emmett. I opened the Edcom and said to Edward in my mind, "Make sure Emmett stays occupied for a few minutes. I'm starting my plan."

"Okay, love. Will do," he replied. I could hear his chuckles in his mind but noted that he was trying to keep a straight face.

I silently crossed the great room, slipped into the kitchen, and stole out the back door. I headed immediately for Rose's garage. After I snuck inside, I had to stifle a giggle. There, hanging in the ignition, were Emmett's keys to his Escalade. "Trusting fool left the keys in the ignition," I said to Edward via the Edcom. I could hear his silent chuckles again, along with consideration for which move he was going to make next in his chess game.

I pushed the garage door open, being as quiet as possible. Then, I got in the Escalade, carefully not slamming the door, turned the key, and put it in neutral. I got out and steered, while I easily pushed it out of the garage. I settled back into the driver's seat, and pulled the door just to, not closing it. I didn't want Emmett to hear what was going on. I sat there silently, concentrating. I saw my hands on the steering wheel disappear and looked down. I was gone. I grinned madly as I started up the Escalade and drove it around behind the house, heading for the large clear area. I heard Emmett yell, "Who the hell is in my Escalade?" and couldn't control my giggles. I drove it out and started doing donuts out in the clearing. I saw Emmett standing outside the house, flailing his arms around, and could hear him yelling, "Who is in there? I can't see anybody driving it! What the hell is going on?"

When he started running towards it, I gunned the engine and zoomed around to the front of the house, parking it in the circle driveway. I hopped out quickly, still invisible, and stood next to the house. Emmett came charging, full speed, around the front of the house, coming to an abrupt halt when he saw the Escalade sitting there empty. I stifled my laughter as the entire family walked out the front door. Alice, in her singsong voice, said, "What's wrong, Emmett?"

Emmett could hardly speak. He kept looking at the Escalade, then back at all of them. "Where's Bella?" he bellowed.

"Reading in our bedroom," Edward said calmly. "Why?"

"Hmmphf, she is the only one not here. Who moved my Escalade and who was four-wheeling with it in the back-forty?" he said accusingly.

"Didn't you see who was driving it?" Jasper asked innocently.

"No, there wasn't anybody… driving… it," Emmett said, looking back at his vehicle. He walked over and yanked the door open, almost a little too roughly. He examined the inside carefully, pulling all the doors open and feeling around. He closed all the doors quietly and turned to glare at everyone else, who amazingly, were all looking rather serious. "Somebody knows what's going on, and I'm going to get to the bottom of it," he growled, hopping in the Escalade. He started it, and drove it back to the garage. As soon as he was gone, I darted past everyone and ran full-speed into the bedroom, grabbing a book on the way, and flopped on the bed. I allowed myself to become visible again, and silently congratulated myself for completing Step One.

I heard Emmett storming into the house and grumbling. Everyone else had gone back to what they were doing before, and were, for the most part, ignoring him. Alice had taken Rosalie aside and explained to her what was happening so she wouldn't get upset. I heard her stifling her giggles as Emmett stomped through the house. His heavy fist was knocking on the doorjamb of our study. I innocently yelled, "Yes? Who is it?" from the bedroom.

"What are you up to in there?" Emmett asked in a kind voice.

"Reading. Why?" I replied, also in a kind voice.

"I was just wondering," he mumbled, walking away.

I re-opened the Edcom and said, "How was that for Step One?"

"Brilliant, love," he responded, chuckling in his head again.

"Good, I'm going for Step Two as soon as it gets dark."

"Do you need any help?"

"No, I just need to figure out what he did with his keys."

"Not to worry, love. The spare is in their bedroom, Emmett's dresser, top drawer, left hand side."

Having a mind reader for a husband was such joy when you wanted to play a practical joke on someone else in the family. "Thank you, baby. I'm going to have to give you a special prize for knowing that."

"Mmmm, I can't wait for that," Edward replied, growling in his head.

I read for a couple of hours, waiting for it to get dark. I decided that I did not want to rejoin the family, who were still enthralled with their visit from the Denali Clan. I wasn't trying to be obstinate, I just didn't want to deal with the visitors. I hated crowds anyway. I heard Edward explaining when Kate asked where I was, that I was still having some difficulty controlling my emotions. He also said that I was a very private person, and my out of control emotions bothered me, so I was spending time by myself. I smiled to myself. Edward was so good to me.

When darkness started crawling across the land, I heard Emmett asking if anyone wanted to go hunt with him. He said he hadn't found anything that suited him the night before, and wanted to go out again. Perfect, I thought. I stayed quiet, listening to see who the hunting party would consist of. Kate, Irina, and Carlisle agreed to go with him. I was sitting on the bed smirking, waiting for them to leave, when I heard Emmett's voice calling to me.

"Bella, do you need to go hunt? Some of us are going."

I was thirsty, but it wasn't bad. Besides, if I went hunting with them, I would never be able to pull off the next part of my plan. "No, Emmett. Thank you for asking. I'm doing okay. I'll go tomorrow."

"Okay," he yelled. I listened as they exited the house. As soon as they were far enough away that I couldn't hear them anymore, I hopped up and headed for the great room. Edward and Jasper were on their fifth chess game of the afternoon. I giggled at the tense look on both of their faces. Alice winked at me as I glided past everyone and headed up the stairs.

Upon entering Emmett and Rose's room, I was interested to find that there were clothes thrown everywhere. There were clothes on the bed, clothes on the floor, and the hamper was overflowing. I chuckled softly and headed for Emmett's dresser. Looking around, I noticed that all the clothes lying around were Emmett's. Ugh, what a pig. I'll bet Rosalie just loves picking up after him. Thank goodness Edward is a neat freak. I opened the top drawer of the dresser, and sure enough, there was the spare key to the Escalade. I snatched it, and closed the drawer carefully.

I tucked the key into the pocket of the jeans I had changed into, and headed immediately for the garage. Again, I was very quiet getting the garage door open, but this time I didn't push the Escalade out, I just went invisible, hopped in, and started it up. I pulled out and drove the other direction this time, towards the front of the house. I looked around, and decided to park it close to the water. I drove a ways and parked it, locking it up carefully. I was on my way back to the house when I heard Emmett running towards the Escalade. I got out of the way quickly, thankful that I had remained invisible.

"What the fuck is going on around here?" he was screaming. I put my hand over my mouth, hoping he didn't hear my gasp as I had tried to stifle my giggle. Kate, Irina, and Carlisle were behind him, but not moving nearly as fast. They all stopped when they saw what he was screeching about. A smile of recognition crossed Carlisle's lips briefly, but he quickly wiped it away.

"What's wrong, son?" Carlisle said.

"Somebody is fucking with my Escalade!" Emmett roared.

"Now, Emmett. There is no need for that kind of language," Carlisle said calmly. I was having to concentrate hard to maintain my invisibility. I glanced over towards the house and saw Edward, Jasper, and Alice standing on the porch, all of them with huge grins plastered on their face.

"I'll use whatever kind of language I want to! I want to know who has been messing with my CAR!" Emmett got in the Escalade and tore back to the garage. Carlisle, Irina, and Kate followed him. Carlisle and Emmett argued briefly because Emmett wanted to stay with his car. I giggled softly, waiting for the outcome. Carlisle finally convinced him everything would be fine and they left.

I went back in the house and silently made my way back to Emmett and Rose's room, leaving the spare key exactly where I had found it in his drawer. I knew he would look as soon as he got back. When I was done, I made my way back down to Edward's and my bedroom, and let my invisibility go. Edward walked in behind me and spun me around, laughing. "You've got him so damn mad, Bella. You are a genius!" he said, still laughing.

I laughed too, and we went back to the great room together, waiting for Emmett to come back. Edward and Jasper had finished their chess game, and everyone was sort of sitting around. Alice spoke up and said, "Who wants to play Wii?" Everyone consented and we all decided to take turns playing "Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop" and kill zombies.

Emmett returned before the rest of his hunting party. When he walked in, he glared around the room. Everyone ignored him. "I'm going up to my room," he announced. No one even looked up, except Rose.

"Do you want me to come up with you?" Rose asked.

"Only if you want to," Emmett grumbled.

Rose smirked at me, and followed Emmett up the stairs. I excused myself to my room politely and waited. When enough time had passed and I heard Emmett settling down, I started concentrating on being invisible again. Silently, I left my room and headed up the stairs. I noticed, as I made my way to their room, that Rose had left the door cracked open. I smiled. This was going to be good.

I stood outside the door, listening to what was going on. I could tell that Emmett was lying on the bed, and Rosalie was talking to him from the bathroom. Perfect. I slipped in silently at vampire speed, pushing the door back to its original position. Emmett's eyes darted over to the door briefly. An odd look crossed his face, but he apparently dismissed whatever he was thinking and went back to watching Rose, who was brushing her hair in the bathroom. I stood stock still when Rose emerged from the bathroom. She looked around and said, "Geez, Em, can't you pick up after yourself?" She turned her back to him and grinned. "I'm going over to borrow something from Alice's bathroom. I'll be back." Rosalie walked out of the room, and I saw her shoulders shaking. I could tell she was having a hard time keeping her laughter under control. As soon as she was gone, I put the next part of my plan into action.

Stealthily, I picked up an article of Emmett's clothing off the floor while he was looking the other way. I tossed it across the room so that it landed squarely on his head.

"What the…?" he said, yanking it off. He started looking wildly around the room. "Rose?" he said. Quickly, I started picking up all of his clothes and throwing them at him. He jumped up and started fighting through the barrage of clothing that was coming after him. I nearly had to bite through my lip to keep from laughing.

"Who's there? What's going on? Leave me alone!" he screamed. He started throwing the clothes around, which just made me throw more at him. I was moving at vampire speed around the room so that when he volleyed them back, he missed me. I picked up a big armful of clothes and threw them all as hard as I could at his head. He stumbled for a second and ran out of the room screaming, "This house is haunted or something!" I heard Rose's stifled laughter coming from Alice's room.

I quickly grabbed Emmett's spare key again and headed for the garage. He was in the living room ranting and raving that a ghost had attacked him in his bedroom. The looks on everyone's faces were priceless. I tried to ignore them as best I could, and slipped out the back door. I went to the garage and threw open the door. I jumped in the Escalade and started it up. I backed out and tore down the road. I heard Rosalie say, "Well, I don't know, Emmett, but it seems to drive itself better than you drive it."

I couldn't stop my laughter. I knew that Emmett was following me, so I slowed to let him catch up. Just as he reached the side of the car and could see there was no one in the driver's seat, I gunned it. The speedometer topped 120 mph and I saw Emmett coming behind me, cursing as loud as he could. I slowed immediately, letting him catch up again. I watched as he reached out for the driver's door, screaming, "Who the fuck is in there? Show yourself damn it!" I giggled silently and stomped on the gas pedal again, leaving him in a cloud of dust. I heard him swear loudly again as I sped away into the night. He didn't give chase any longer, so I put Step Three of the plan into action. I opened the Edcom, and just as planned, Edward was in the woods, running to catch me. As soon as I noted Emmett tearing back towards the house at top speed, I slowed down slightly, looking for the road where I was supposed to turn off. I glanced back at Emmett again, and he was out of my sight, so I turned on the road, drove in about a mile, and waited for Edward.

I remained alert to my surroundings, knowing that I was much closer to town than I had ever been, and I didn't want to accidentally come across a human while executing my plan. This was the reason for Edward meeting me. When he got there, he jumped in the passenger side and yelled, "Go!" We were both laughing hysterically, talking about how panicked Emmett was when he reached the side of the vehicle and could not see anyone driving.

We drove up into the mountains surrounding the house, and on land that we owned, there was a large cave entrance. The Escalade fit perfectly inside. After it was securely in, we covered the entrance with rocks. Edward and I high-fived each other, and raced back down to the house. Along the way, we came across some deer, and stopped for a quick snack. I made sure to get some blood on my shirt so that Emmett wouldn't question where I had been.

Arriving back at the house was a hoot. We walked into the back door to the sound of Carlisle yelling, "No we can't call the police and report your Escalade stolen, Emmett! They will ask too many questions that we are not prepared to answer!"

"But, Carlisle, I love that car!" Emmett yelped.

"What's going on?" Edward asked in an authoritative tone.

"Some fucking ghost stole my fucking Escalade!" Emmett howled.

I had a really tough time keeping a straight face. I cleared my throat, and then said, "What do you mean 'a ghost', Emmett?"

He looked at me with rage in his eyes, fists clenched, and roared, "There was nobody driving! A ghost attacked me upstairs in my room, and then went out, got in my Escalade, and tore away in it!"

"Oh," I said, feigning shock.

Emmett turned on Alice and yelled, "What have you seen, baby sister? What's going on? Where is my car?"

Alice looked the perfect picture of horrified at his accusation. "I haven't seen anything, Emmett," she spat.

Rosalie approached him, and was trying to calm him, but kept her face turned away from him. She was having a terrible time keeping her grin under control.

I silently wondered if I was taking my revenge too far. I looked over at Alice, who smiled at me. She knew that things were going to be okay, for now. Rosalie finally got Emmett calmed down, and took him upstairs. I hoped he would not look for the spare key this time and listened carefully. He didn't.

There was some talk from a few people who did not know what was going on wondering what was happening to Emmett, and why everything that had happened had seemed to be aimed solely at him. The rest of us, who were in the know, remained silent about the goings on. Later on in the night, Edward and I retired to our bedroom. We made love quietly, using our silent communication to share our bliss. When we had finished, we laid in each other's arms silently, just enjoying being together.

The next morning, we got up and showered, then presented ourselves to the rest of the family. Emmett was rather subdued, having looked for his Escalade most of the night. The first of the "missing" signs caught me off guard. I had walked into the kitchen to greet Esme and Carlisle who were sitting at the table reading the morning news. On one of the cabinets was a paper that had a picture of Emmett's Escalade. The caption said, "Have you seen me?"

I stifled a giggle and turned quickly to look at Carlisle and Esme who were still reading their papers, but both of them were smiling. "Good morning," I said. They both greeted me, and went back to their papers.

I went back to the great room, and noticed another of the flyers hanging on the front door. As I walked through the house, I noted that they were everywhere. I couldn't help but laugh. I called up to Emmett, "So, are the flyers working, Emmett? Did you find your car yet?"

Emmett stood at the top of the stairs, glaring. "No I didn't find my damn car yet, Bella, what are you talking about?"

I shrugged and said, "Oh, never mind," and walked off. I went to the dining room where Alice, Rosalie, Irina, Kate, and Tanya were playing cards. I pulled up a chair and watched them briefly until the sound of Emmett yelling again pulled all of our attention away.

"NOT COOL!" he screamed, ripping the flyers off the wall. He stormed into the dining room and glared at all of us. We were, of course, all laughing hysterically. He held one of the flyers wadded in his hand. "Which one of you did this?"

We all looked at each other and shrugged. Alice suggested, "Maybe it was your ghost, Emmett," and we all broke out into fresh laughter.

"You guys think you are so funny, don't you? Just wait until your Porsche disappears, Alice, then you won't be laughing!"

Emmett stomped out of the room with our laughter ringing through the air. Once we had all calmed ourselves down, the girls started playing cards again. I excused myself and wandered out to the great room again.

I found Emmett sitting in front of the television pouting. He was watching some sort of sports event. Ugh. ESPN again. Edward and Jasper were up in Jasper's study. As near as I could tell, they were buying stocks or something. I decided this was a good opportunity to put some more pressure on Emmett. I went into my study and made a lot of noise on purpose. Then, I went into the bedroom and made a production of closing the doors and flopping on the bed. I shook my book around for a few minutes so that he would think I was reading. Finally, I quieted down and listened. I could still hear the sounds of the television, even though Emmett had the sound extremely low. I stood up quietly, and willed myself invisible again. It was getting easier each time, and I was proud of myself. I found that it was much like a bubble, and I could choose to pull things into it with me, or leave them outside the bubble. If I left them outside, they did not turn invisible with me.

Having figured that out, I silently left the bedroom, walked through the study, and arrived in the great room staring at the back of Emmett's head. He was still absorbed in the television, and did not even flinch when I entered. I walked up behind him silently and stood there for a moment, waiting to see if he would notice. Not one muscle flexed. I grinned, and headed up to Emmett and Rosalie's room.

I looked around to see that Emmett's clothing had all been picked up. I wondered if Rosalie had made him do it, and giggled silently. I looked around for something that I thought would work for what I was planning next. I couldn't find anything that suited me, so I picked up a pair of Emmett's Adidas and walked out to the balcony overlooking the great room. Emmett was still staring at the television. I took aim, and chucked one of the shoes at him, hitting him squarely in the back of the head.

Emmett flew off the couch and looked around the room wildly screaming, "Ow! What was… Shit! Rosalie! Carlisle! EDWARD, JASPER, ALICE, BELLA! Come HERE!"

Just as the entire family arrived to the sounds of his screaming, including those who were visiting, I chucked the other shoe and hit him in the chest. It knocked him backwards and he fell over the back of the couch, still squealing like a girl. I ran down the stairs at full speed and rushed into my study. As soon as I was out of sight, I let my invisibility go, and turned around to walk back in the great room. What a sight to behold it was when I entered.

There was pandemonium. Emmett was freaking out completely. All of the Denali family was laughing. Esme, Alice, and Rosalie were also in stitches. Emmett was indignant that Rosalie was laughing at him. Edward and Jasper were trying to reason with him, but it wasn't working. Carlisle was standing around with his arms crossed suppressing a smile. I walked over to where Jasper and Edward were trying to reason with Emmett and blinked innocently.

"What's happening?"

"It's alright, love. Emmett just had another close encounter." New gales of laughter filled the room.

"Oh, are you alright, Emmett? What happened?"

"WHATEVER, or WHOEVER is after me just chucked my new pair of Adidas at me. One of them hit me so hard it knocked me over the couch. ME! And all of these insensitive asses are LAUGHING!"

I stifled my giggle. I wasn't quite ready to give up yet. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Emmett," I said apologetically. I walked through all the people to get lost in the crowd, and headed for the kitchen. Time for the Grand Finale.

I incited my invisibility again, and carefully slipped past everyone in the great room. I headed for the cabinet that held Emmett's most prized possessions beyond his Escalade, his video games. I reached in, and picked out his three favorites, making sure to keep them outside my bubble. I positioned myself close to the door so I could run when he chased me, and started juggling them. I waited for someone to notice. I noticed that it was rather easy for me to juggle, and thought how great it was that I could do that now. As a human, I would have knocked myself out already.

Rosalie noticed first and smirked at Emmett. "It looks like your ghost wants to play video games with you Emmett."

"Wha… what?!" Emmett exclaimed, turning towards me.

The entire room burst into another round of uncontrollable laughter as I juggled the games over my head. Emmett started for me, and just as he lunged, I jumped over him, landing close to Edward who was laughing harder than I had ever seen. Emmett was cursing and scrambling to get back up. I eyed him carefully as he lunged for me again. I jumped over him again and headed for the door. Emmett was enraged. As soon as I saw him coming for me, I threw the video games in the air, threw the door open, and ran. Hard. Emmett was chasing me and screaming with the rest of the family in hot pursuit. Edward passed Emmett and I stopped in the middle of the open field behind the house. I turned around, and let my invisibility go, becoming fully visible right before Emmett's eyes.

Several things happened at once. Edward grabbed Emmett to keep him from tackling me. Emmett tried, unsuccessfully, to stop when he saw me. The rest of the family laughed loudly as they all ran towards us and I jumped as high as I could, avoiding being crashed into by Emmett, Edward, and now Jasper who had also grabbed Emmett to avoid the crash. I did a somersault in the air before I landed gracefully in front of the rest of the family.

Emmett stared at me from the ground. I smirked at him, but said nothing. He looked from me to Edward, and then the rest of the family. "You?" he said, amazed.

I nodded proudly and said, "Yup, it was me."

"How did you… do that?"

I walked over to him and took his hand, helping him to his feet. "I'm not going to tell you how I did it, Emmett, but I am going to tell you this. If you ever even think about embarrassing me, Edward, or both of us, like you did the other day, again, I want you to remember the last two days and know that I can become invisible anytime, anywhere, and I'm not afraid to use my power to get you back. I am not mad at you anymore because once you think about this, you are going to be embarrassed enough about your behavior to be truly sorry for acting like an ass the other day. I will tell you now, that I am as sorry as I am ever going to be about this whole thing, and that is not very much, because, big brother, I owed you, big." I grinned widely at him at the end of my lecture and waited for his response.

At first, he looked like he couldn't figure out how to feel. He wanted to be mad, but he knew he couldn't. He knew that he deserved it. I opened my connection to Edward to see what Emmett was thinking. Edward said silently, "Nice job, love. I could not have done better myself."

"Thank you," I replied. I listened to Emmett briefly. He was incredulous that his little sister had gotten one over on him like this, and was contemplating revenge.

"I don't think so, Emmett," I said, wagging my finger at him. "We're even now."

"Damn it! You can read my mind now too?!"

"No, but I can read Edward's, so don't even think about it."

Finally, Emmett stepped over to me, grabbed me up in a big bear hug, swung me around, and said, "Little sis, you are a force to be reckoned with. I'm sorry for acting like an ass." He put me back on the ground and said, "Where's my Escalade?"
